Re: Empty comparison windows

I had another issue come up that seemed like it might be locale related (because of Chinese characters in the output): https://sourceforge.net/p/meld-installer/tickets/44/.  This time the UI apparently doesn't load at all.  I don't know anything about GTK to make any recommendations :(  Anyone else reported anything like that?

OK.  Sorry for the runaround.  I tried to label this as clearly as I could, but users are getting confused between my issue tracker (which I intended to be just for installer and wrapper exe issues) and Meld's issue tracker.  I've asked the reporting user to open a Meld issue, but it could still be an issue on my end, I just took the vanilla PortablePython and maybe PyGTK isn't configured right in it.  If it ends up being my issue, I'll reopen that bug and correct on my end.

And yes, localization issues are always fun to figure out :)

I... guess so? I'll need pretty good instructions to reproduce though,
given that we're talking about setting system language, etc. on
Windows.

I vaguely suspect that the problem is that on Windows we'll just
declare that the system font is "Monospace 10", which the internet
suggests may not work in all locales. However, we only use this font
in a few places such as file comparisons and patch dialogs. I don't
see how this could affect folder comparisons, which makes it extra
weird.

cheers,
